First time listening to this guy and he's kicking A$$ and taking names in my opinion and keep on keeping on Brother cause your going up and not down . Damn good song.

[adequatebus]

Really, really digging that harmonizing drone chord. And the lyrics are how I feel almost every morning. Thank you. -C

This song is awesome, has a very mesmerizing quality to it. Kind of song you get lost to. Yeah, I agree if it was up to me

[willgeorge]

That’s some good Outlaw Country! Nice to see another local with a like-minded musical mind!

[dodgeball]

Oh boy I can relate to this song! So good..

[joaquinlopez]

Well, roots music can't get better than this. His last album "Country Supper" is MO-NU-MEN-TAL effort. For sure at the top of every respectable end of the year list. This guy is a buried treasure in the country/blues badlands. The REAL deal.

[come-on-photon]

I can relate. Slowed my roll down a few years back.... Not that easy when you got some good momentum going.

Man, these are my fuckin' lyrics.

"if it was up to me i'd burn this fucker down
hit the road and not look back on this godforsaken town
if it was up to me I'd head out west
find a town where noone knew who the hell i was "
